Tafsir of Surah An-Nahl 16:48

﴿أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَالُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالشَّمَائِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَاخِرُونَ﴾

Translation of the meaning

Have they not considered what things Allāh has created? Their shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allāh, while they [i.e., those creations] are humble.

ولما كانت اليمين جهة الخير والفلاح وأهلها هم الناجون أفردت ولما كانت الشمال جهة أهل الباطل وهم أصحاب الشمال جمعت في قوله: {عن اليمين والشمائل}«بدائع الفوائد» 1/120
